Chapter 2066 The Witch of Moon Bay
“Is it fun?”
Before the man who successfully used thaumaturgy could feel happy, Shade’s voice came from behind him. Before the astonished man could turn around, Juli threw him to the ground.
Shad, who used “Ragrai’s Jump” to get into the air, held the “Shadow Ball” in his right hand and smashed it into the air at the man who couldn’t dodge. But before the shadow ball hit the opponent, the five-ring warlock had already raised his hands and surrendered:
“Just ask! Don’t fight, I know you are powerful.”
The black sphere disappeared out of thin air, and Shade fell back to the ground lightly. He didn’t use the power of Silver Moon just now, but he still won so easily:
“So if you speak from the beginning, we don’t have to waste each other’s time.”
He stretched out his hand towards the man huddled on the ground on the roof of the building. The latter shivered in fear, and then reached out for Shade to pull him up:
“How do I know you are so powerful? I can’t beat you, so I give up. Just ask, what do you want to know?”
Facing the Ring Warlock, Shade no longer had to beat around the bush, he asked straight to the point:
“About two or three months ago, you asked the gangsters of the Hawthorne family to find a relic in the downtown area. I want to know what you are looking for, and where is the relic now?”
“Two or three months ago, you wanted to ask about that matter.”
The man stood up holding on to the ground, but his right leg was injured and he seemed to be unstable:
“Ever since I was concerned about that relic, nothing good has happened around me. But the relic was not in my hands and was snatched away by the Belindel family. The three major families that now control this city are all here. Contact the Ring Warlocks, their people are even more powerful.”
He bared his teeth and squatted down to hold his injured right leg, as if he was healing himself:
“It’s really unlucky that I got beaten up again for this matter. I was really unjust today.”
“What is that relic? Name, level.”
“I’m not sure about the level, and I don’t know the name either. But it must be something of a very high level, sage level or angel level. I haven’t even been able to see it with my own eyes. The Ring Warlocks that the Belindel family has come into contact with are very… Awesome.”
Xia De frowned. Ordinary ring warlocks may not understand the “unknown level”, and it is not impossible to mistake a level 0 relic for a level 1:
“You should know the appearance of the relic, right? Don’t tell me, you are looking for the relic without knowing anything.”
After healing himself for a while, the five-ring warlock stood up and patted his hat that had become tattered in distress. The look of putting it on the top of his head was really ridiculous:
“You know, a hexagonal stone mirror. It is said to be related to fate, and it is extremely difficult to trigger its characteristics. Otherwise, if it appeared in a crowded place like Yuewan City, it would have caused big trouble.”
“Mirror? Are there decorations on the mirror? Such as gems, diamonds, etc.”
Xia De asked again, and the latter said uncertainly:
“There is none on the front, but there should be some decorations on the back.”
So Shade was still not sure what that thing was. He asked a few more questions. Seeing that the other party couldn’t answer them, he asked other questions:
“You should know that contacting nobles like this will get you into big trouble once the church discovers it. Why are you willing to stay with Earl Hawthorne? Contact between Hawthorne, Eddington and Belindle Ring Warlock, for what?”
“Earl Hawthorne helped me.”
He answered without hesitation:
“The Ring Warlock also needs to live and have money to do research. If he is willing to give me money, I will help him. As for what he wants me to do for him, it seems that you are really a foreigner and don’t have anything. Know.”
“What should I know?”
“A prophecy, a prophecy that has been circulating since the establishment of Yuewan City: When wealth accumulates into sin, the ancient dragon will return here and purify the land of Yuewan with light. I know that every city has it Their own folk customs and legends, but the Seven Glorious Yuewan families firmly believe in this prophecy. They have secretly contacted the ring warlocks over the years, hoping to find a way to prevent themselves from the so-called “dragon cleansing the earth with light”. The method of being cleaned.”
“Let me remind you.”
The young man under the moon said:
“The prophecy you just mentioned was ‘the dragon purifies the earth with light’, not ‘cleansing’.”
“But those nobles knew their own affairs and knew what they had done. This prophecy can be easily found in the city and is part of folklore. I have translated some ancient books for the Hawthorne family. You Guess what I discovered? The glorious Seven Families of Yuewan are not what they claim to be.”
The man in the top hat shook his head slightly:
“At the beginning of the Sixth Era, the ancestors of their seven families may have really encountered an ancient dragon in the Yuewan area, and thus gained wealth and created this city. The families of these ordinary people have inherited The history is vague, and each family’s story has different interpretations. I know it’s ridiculous that they try to hide their tricks from the church. The church will discover their actions sooner or later, but at least until the church finds out, I am cooperating with the Hawthorne family. Reciprocal status. You won’t report us? ”
Xia De shook his head. Although he had to pass through the dragon’s nest every time he entered the Moon Bay area, this was the first time he had heard about dragons and prophecies:
“I would like to get to know the ring warlocks that the Belindel family has contacted. Do you have any ideas?”
“No, it is illegal for nobles to hire ring warlocks. The three major families know each other but maintain a tacit understanding, and they will not deliberately learn each other’s secrets. I only know that the other party is very strong, but I don’t know the specific situation. Maybe you can like Use the same method to find each other as you did to me.”
“Understood, happy cooperation, you can go.”
“Do you think of this as cooperation?”
The man wearing a tattered hat asked. Seeing Shade frowning and looking at him, he shook his head quickly:
“It’s cooperation. At least your attitude is very friendly. I hope we won’t meet again. Goodbye, ahem, I mean, I wish you a good night.”
As he spoke, he jumped off the edge of the roof, and once again dived into his hat before falling to the ground. The tattered hat spun between buildings and quickly disappeared into the night.
“This method is really fancy. I wonder if his hat can be used as a space item to store a large number of items.”
Xia De watched the other party leave, looking at the dark night sky with almost no stars and only a little moonlight in trance:
“In this way, the clues on the Hawthorne family are interrupted. If I want to find the relic that is at least a sage level, I have to contact Belindle, and then I won’t have to contact the Eddington family again, right? That’s it. First, wouldn’t I definitely encounter the witch hidden among the three major families?”
Sighing softly, he turned around and prepared to return to the alley along the iron stairs on the side. It’s dark at night, and today’s investigation has come to an end. He planned to go home to rest and talk about anything tomorrow.
At first, the sound of boots colliding with the iron stairs was very light and fast, but gradually the footsteps became slower and slower, until they stopped completely. At this moment, the moonlight was finally completely obscured by the black clouds in the night sky. In the darkness with almost no light visible, Shade frowned and pressed his hand on his chest. The badge was heating up, and the heat was increasing very quickly:
“No way?”
Confirming that the fever on the badge was not an illusion, he wanted to turn into a red butterfly and fly away. But just as he was about to cast the spell, he remembered that at about this time last year, he used “Blood Echo” downstairs at the Lucky Southern Cross Club, and it was sensed by Miss Carina on the third floor.
“Otherwise, just throw the glass slipper and go home?”
His hand had already reached his pocket, but when a sound broke through the air, Shade suddenly raised his hand in front of his face, and caught a flying card between his index and middle fingers.
Looking at the card, this is not a Rhodes card but a divination card. The card is the “Queen”, which is the most important card among the 108 divination cards. However, this card is not a playing card but a metal card. Shade heard from Luvia that the material of the divination card has an impact on divination. Generally, no one will use metal to make divination cards.
“Direction.”
[Below. 】
Xia De was currently between the second and third floors. Looking down, the stairs were located where the alleyway connected with the street. The gas street lamp on the street could only slightly illuminate the right half of the alleyway.
Outside the alley, the carriage that did not exist just now had stopped there at some point.
When he touched the badge on his chest again, the heat was enough to show that the witch he thought he would not touch was now in the carriage below.
Shad suddenly thought of Luvia’s divination:
“So this is what the trouble is about.”
Now that he has been discovered by the other party, Xia De no longer thinks about leaving. However, although there was an illusion currently covering his face, he still took out another mask and put it on before walking back to the alley along the stairs.
However, he did not walk out of the alley, but stuck to the wall on the left, hiding himself in the shadows:
“Ms.”
He didn’t want to cause trouble for himself, let alone come into contact with a new witch like this. Therefore, the superimposed sounds of spells and illusions make it difficult to distinguish between male and female voices. As for the street outside the alley, the carriage was not aimed directly at the alley, but slightly crossed the alley. Therefore, Shade could see the rear of the carriage, but neither he nor the people on the carriage could see each other directly through the window.
“It’s really interesting. You haven’t met me yet, and I think my protective spells won’t be easily seen through. Why do you think I’m a lady?”
A clear female voice came. This was the first time Shade heard the voice of this strange witch. Kasonrik, who has an accent from the Moon Bay area, speaks very clearly. If we judge only from her tone and timbre, she is probably about the same age as Luvia, Lesia, and Dorothy.
I wanted to say that I smelled the perfume on the metal fortune-telling board, but I immediately realized that saying this to an unfamiliar lady would be a bit too frivolous:
“I trust my intuition. Madam, do you have any business with me?”
His back was pressed against the wall, and outside the right-angled corner, the blond witch with a dark red birthmark between her eyebrows revealed through the car window had a smile on her face, which made her whole face more beautiful and coquettish.
